What is the difference between Gorgonzola and blue cheese?
Gorgonzola and blue cheese are both types of cheese that are characterized by their blue veining, but there are some differences between the two. Gorgonzola is a specific type of blue cheese that is made from cow's milk and originates from Italy. It has a creamy texture and a milder, less pungent flavor compared to other blue cheeses. Blue cheese, on the other hand, is a broader category that includes various types of cheeses with blue veining, such as Roquefort and Stilton. These cheeses can be made from different types of milk, such as cow's, sheep's, or goat's milk, and may have different textures and flavors compared to Gorgonzola.
-
Why does Gorgonzola smell?
Gorgonzola cheese smells because of the specific type of mold used in its production. The mold, Penicillium roqueforti, is responsible for the distinctive blue veins and pungent aroma of Gorgonzola. As the cheese ages, the mold continues to grow and develop, intensifying the smell. The combination of the mold and the breakdown of proteins and fats in the cheese during the aging process contribute to its strong odor.
-
Can you use other types of blue cheese instead of Gorgonzola?
Yes, you can use other types of blue cheese instead of Gorgonzola in recipes. Some popular alternatives include Roquefort, Stilton, and Danish blue cheese. These cheeses have a similar creamy texture and sharp, tangy flavor that can work well as substitutes for Gorgonzola in dishes like salads, pasta, and dips. However, keep in mind that each type of blue cheese has its own unique flavor profile, so the taste of the dish may vary slightly depending on the substitution.
-
Is my Gorgonzola still edible?
Gorgonzola cheese is known for its strong flavor and creamy texture. If your Gorgonzola cheese has developed mold, it is not necessarily a sign that it is no longer edible. In fact, Gorgonzola is a type of blue cheese, so the mold on the surface is a natural part of its aging process. However, if the mold has spread extensively or the cheese has developed an off-putting odor, it may be best to discard it. Always use your best judgment and consider the appearance, smell, and taste of the cheese before consuming it.
